4dabird Member 4 Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 1,770 NW Chicago	Can't seem to get the feel talked about in the procedure I am using. Do the lifters need to be soaked in oil first? I am trying to go to where the pushrod doesn't feel loose and is harder to rotate around, then 1/2 turn more. Is there some trick to this? Do I need to pressurize the oil system first? Help please. 1969 Firebird conv't A/C 400 4-Speed
